Middle Atlantic 23-19-2 2-space Rack Reducer Panel

Product Description

The MIDDLE ATLANTIC - U.S. - LEGRAND 23-19-2 is a 2-space reducer panel pair designed to adapt 23-inch rack enclosures for use with standard 19-inch rack-mount equipment. This hardware accessory bridges the gap between wider 23-inch frames and the 19-inch mounting standard common in AV, IT, and low-voltage installations. The pair mounts into two rack units of vertical space and provides a stable, flush transition for equipment that would otherwise not seat correctly in a 23-inch frame. Low-voltage technicians, AV integrators, and rack installers are the primary trades that work with this type of hardware.

This reducer panel is suited for commercial and residential rack installations where existing 23-inch relay racks or equipment enclosures need to accommodate 19-inch gear. Typical scenarios include retrofitting older telecom-style 23-inch frames with modern networking switches, patch panels, or AV components built to the 19-inch standard. The pair configuration means both left and right sides are included, allowing a complete single-installation fit without sourcing additional hardware.

Key Features

• Converts 23-inch rack frames to accept standard 19-inch rack-mount equipment
• 2-space (2U) panel height accommodates two rack units of vertical mounting depth
• Sold as a matched left-and-right pair for a complete installation
• Designed as a rackmount accessory for structured wiring and AV rack builds

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style rackmount accessory for use with 23-inch open-frame relay racks and enclosures that require adaptation to the 19-inch rack-mount equipment standard.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage technicians or AV rack integrators. Power down and de-energize any active equipment in the rack before mounting or repositioning hardware. Standard rack installation tools apply, including a screwdriver and appropriate rack screws for the frame type. Follow applicable low-voltage installation codes and rack manufacturer guidelines for load rating and equipment support.
